Prof. Gerald Steinberg, executive director of NGO Monitor, called Amnesty International’s report on Israel as unethical and lacking research standards. In an interview with Voice of Israel government radio, Steinberg said, “Who is Amnesty? They aren’t researchers. They are political. They don’t live here. Almost all of the reports are hearsay from Palestinian sources. All of this is a game. There is no ethical basis to their research.”
Steinberg feels that although the IDF has made mistakes during its military operations in Gaza, he feels that the report is one-sided. As an example, Hamas’ capture of Gilad Shalit is only referred to in a footnote. “They have lost the ethical conscious. I think that the Amnesty people must resign,” he stated.
